When I asked my wife what she thought about building 7, her first reaction was, "well, didn't they have to bring it down because it was damaged beyond repair?" I said, "what do you mean bring it down?" she answered, "well yeah, my friend who worked in the building told me the building was pretty...

Is there an 'official' reason as to why building 7 collapsed? I read somewhere that the official investigation into the collapse of the building has not been released yet and is due for early 2007, but cannot say if the source is reliable or not.

The fact that you persist in the argument you make re the comparison of accidents to deterministic pit bull attacks shows that either: 1) You are mentally incapable of understanding the difference between the nature of the two causes of death 2) You understand the distinction but are in...

You gotta do what you gotta do if you are a responsible citizen, and you did the right thing. What amazes me is the intellectual arrogance of the pit bull lover crowd, those that claim to be able to nurture a pit bull into gentleness. They all think that the dog's behavior is within their locus...

Your swearing and vulgar language looks as bad as an ugly pit bull itself. And your logic is so twisted and fallacious that it's laughable. Your comparison to smoking, swimming/farm/firearm accidents is fallacious at best and incredibly dishonest at worst. You CANNOT compare the statistical...

The relentless reports of pit bull killings is starting to REALLY get at me. Isn't it time for laws to be passed NATIONWIDE against these dogs? How many more children and people will have to be eaten alive before people wake up...

I believe you're referring to the adage that making money has little to do with a high win rate... for ex, see turtles with their sub 40% win rates and yet great success etc... So the reality for these guys is that they take losses on 7 out of 10 trades and still come out nicely ahead due to...

Thanks for your honest thoughts, I appreciate that. Perhaps the reason why you haven't seen the slippage is simply because a great majority of the traders in the room cherry pick the trades they take. Which wouldn't be surprising at all. At any rate, wish you the best of luck in this tough biz.

Alex My question wasn't about bullying the market or 'controlling' it. It was about slippage and the deterioration in a scalper's profit margin. It seems that you are saying that currently, you don't have enough subscribers to impact your fills on the YM and hence would consider trading ES...

Hi Alex Question for you re your services/chat room: It's well known that the YM is not as liquid as the ES or NQ, and since you are a scalper, I was wondering, how do you deal with the slippage that comes from having dozens, if not hundreds of your subscribers entering at the same time as...

Yeah, look who's laughing at other's trading results: an admitted non trader in 2004 who seems to have a strong liking for Wizetrade. Why don't you talk about your trading results since 2004 and your Wizetrade experiment huh? At least Bitstream had the gumption to openly post his results. Why...

Haroki, The following is from NIST's website: "NIST estimated the elapsed times for the first exterior panels to strike the ground after the collapse initiated in each of the towers to be approximately 11 seconds for WTC 1 and approximately 9 seconds for WTC 2. These elapsed times were...

The above reasoning Haroki (point 1), to answer your question. I am relieved to see that you understand that the possibility of transformer explosions does not rule out the possibility of explosives. Yet I am shocked that you would dig yourself into the hole of arguing that everyone of the...

LOL Actually I don't know if I should be crying instead.

Your logic and reasoning is very weak. You are building your argument on a logical fallacy. The existence and possibility of transformers blowing up in fires does not preclude the existence and possibility of explosives. That is an obvious either/or fallacy in reasoning. Just because...

So Haroki, ummmm, ALL the explosions heard by the firefighters and other witnesses were caused by the electric transformers exploding, is that correct?..... Is that what you are saying? Further you are saying that the pancaking is responsible for explosions being heard from LOWER floors too...

Version77, could you please look into the following and then come back and comment. Would you characterize ALL of the following testimony as coming from firefighters and other civilian witnesses who were all so dumb to as not be able to tell the difference between a bomb explosion and any other...

Hey Version77, Your list of questions is great, why don't you forward it to the people that can make a difference, such as those on the 9/11 commission or other officials. Just try that, and see if you get a response. Hint: Don't hold your breath.

1. Your arguments are plausible re the squib refutation. Yet, in the absence of a controlled experiment to recreate the conditions that existed in the towers on 9/11 (virtual impossibility), I would prefer the simpler explanation, by occam's razor. Your conjecture that pressure "bypassed"...

Thanks for your post. Since none of us have the time/resources/means to recreate an experiment of that magnitude for the sake of using the scientific method (formulation, observation, recording, testing etc) to back our arguments, it seems to me that we are reduced to using common sense and...
